Chapter 428: Multi-point blasting

Boom, a shell landed not far from Hauge, and the two soldiers flew up in the explosion, and they were lying on the ground. It has been nearly half an hour since the shelling, and the soldiers who stubbornly hold on to the city do not know how many are left.

Suddenly, the sound of the artillery stopped abruptly, and after a slight pause at the head of the city, a soldier with a bloody face shouted in horror: "The Ming dog of the Dengzhou camp has come out of the trench." ”

Countless young officers took the lead in crossing the trenches, raising their swords high and shouting: "Dengzhou battalion, advance." Rush with me! "All the combat units are the same number, the officers rush to the front, the back shield, and then the covering platoon of guns, and the sappers who carry out the blasting fall last.

Countless shield carts, ladders, and tide-like dark green surged towards Liaoyang City. At this moment, Chen Xie was extremely excited, this was the first time to attack Jiancheng in the real sense.

Hundreds of building cars, which appeared for the first time in the ranks of the Dengzhou battalion, were stacked in peacetime, and in wartime the pulleys and fastening parts were raised, and then the soldiers climbed up the stairs and hit the Qing soldiers on the head of the city with rifles.

The hot air balloon kept dropping bombs, and at this time, the Qing army couldn't care about it so much, and rushed to the city with bombs. Bed crossbows, Furlong cannons, tiger cannons, all the hidden guys, all have to be taken out to fight.

The shield cart rushed to the city, the platoon of guns continued to fire, and the soldiers in the shield cart used pickaxes and steel drills to dig holes in the city wall one by one. The Qing army resisted desperately and constantly threw all kinds of defensive weapons into the city. Disappointment inevitably arises, but in terms of casualties. Or the Qing army is bigger. Mainly, hundreds of sharpshooters in the car, with the assistance of two assistants, constantly shot and killed the leaders or warriors of the Qing army.

Countless hot oil poured down on the city, countless torches were dropped, and more than half of the shield carts were ignited, but there were still more than 300 shield carts still working. Rolling logs, stones, bows and arrows, and raindrops fell. The platoon of guns under the city was constantly shooting with bows and arrows, and people were constantly falling down from the city.

"Lord Belle, I can't hold it anymore, let's give some reinforcements. The firepower of the Dengzhou battalion was too fierce. Three thousand brothers. Now it's less than a thousand. A soldier with a bloody face rushed to a sturdy stone house beneath the city, which was Hauge's headquarters.

Hauge blushed his face, three thousand defenders in the south of the city. Those were all first-class Manchurian warriors. The war had only been going on for half an hour. There are only a thousand left. The casualties are truly terrifying.

"Laishan, you can bring someone up, no matter what. Gotta hold it off for me. Hauge gritted his teeth and used the reserves in his hand. was besieged on three sides, and at this rate, the more than 20,000 reserves in his hands could not hold out for a few days.

Boom, a large general's cannon opened fire, hitting a cocoon, and the tumultuous building car shook a few times, and did not fall down. Two of the soldiers in the car fell down, and they all got out of the car quickly, and the people who were waiting on the side, holding wooden shields, rushed up, and hurried to the battlefield to repair the building car and replace the damaged parts.

One by one, grenades were thrown on the city, the sound of explosions continued, and soldiers rushed to the city one after another, and were knocked down again, the Qing army organized some brave ten, a team of ten people, where there was danger, they rushed to where. Many soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion were thrown off the city by continuous blows.

In front of the Dengzhou battalion, which used firearms on a large scale, the Qing army in the city suffered casualties very quickly, especially at the head of the city, which was constantly hit by artillery fire, and the continuous platoon of guns could not raise their heads, to mention the sharpshooters on the building cars, as well as the hot air balloons, constantly throwing grenades and bombs down.

After a fierce battle for three hours, more than ten times rushed to the Dengzhou camp at the head of the city, and finally retreated under the desperate counterattack of the Qing army. At this time, hundreds of basins were dug on the city wall, large and small, with holes as deep as half a meter.

After finally repelling the first wave of attacks, it was already noon, and every officer and soldier of the Dengzhou battalion, regardless of the dead or wounded, was brought back. During the three-hour battle, 303 soldiers were killed or seriously wounded, and more than 1,000 were lightly wounded. It is certain that the casualties of the Qing army were three times or even more.

Chen Xie can still accept this casualty, Ci is not in charge of the army, and he has no time to be a sissy at this time.

After three hours of fighting, the fire in the city was still burning, indicating that the firefighting effect was not good. Haoge blushed and found Fan Wencheng, seeing that this old guy was standing in front of a firehead, commanding people to tear down the surrounding buildings, and there were many holes burned in his clothes, and Haoge took back the evil words that came to his mouth.

"Big Baylor, how's it going?" Fan Wencheng's face was calm, he was a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. It's useless to be anxious, if Huang Taiji doesn't leave, Liaoyang will have to defend it. At this time, I am looking forward to a snowstorm from God, otherwise this Liaoyang will really not be able to hold on for long.

"It's terrible, less than two hours of fighting, more than 10,000 soldiers in the city, plus the 5,000 reinforcements I sent, that's more than 15,000 people, and now the rest is estimated to be less than 7,000. If it weren't for the defense of the city, I'm afraid it would have been defeated long ago. Hauge's heart was cold when he said this. The casualty was too fast, but fortunately, he was hiding in the city and holding on.

"Lord Belle, there is something to tell you, the granary was burned down three." Fan Wencheng pointed to the place where the fire was being put out, and Hauge noticed that this was the largest granary in the city. In this place, it was well prepared, but the rockets outside the city seemed to know that this was a granary, and no less than a thousand rockets were placed at this location, and no less than 300 rockets hit the target and caused a fire. More than 1,000 people who are now ready to fight the fire were killed or injured in the process of the rocket explosion. This rocket, it's terrible.

"Hurry up and deal with the aftermath, as much as you can save. Let's go back and scatter the grain, so that it is easy to be discovered. After Haoge finished speaking, Fan Wencheng showed a wry smile, did he still care about turning around?

A fire, the fire brought to Liaoyang City, was almost catastrophic. A third of the city was set on fire, and it is impossible to count how many people were injured in the fire. This also directly leads to the fact that there are very few people who assist the army in the battle, and they all have to go to fight the fire. This is also one of the reasons for the huge casualties of the army.

After the results were reported one after another, Hauge's heart fell into the valley of ice. More than 2,800 were killed in battle, and more than 5,300 were seriously wounded and lost their combat effectiveness. This is more than 8,000 casualties, at this rate, at most four or five days, the soldiers in the city will be gone.

"Half of the shield cars were lost, and the building cars were lost twelve, and the artillery of the Qing army was basically wiped out." When Chang Shiren reported to Chen Xie, his expression was still sad. The first wave of siege were all officers and soldiers of the A and B battalions, and most of them were veterans.

"What about officer casualties?" Chen Xie asked lightly, still feeling hot and uncomfortable.

"Officers and non-commissioned officers below the team level lost eight killed and seventeen were seriously wounded. Individual squads, none of whom were spared. When Chang Shiren said heavily, Chen Xie stood up and said, "Got it, that's it, continue in the afternoon." ”

At noon, there was good news that 100 hot air balloons were shipped from Gaizhou, which Chang Shiren asked Dengzhou to produce and send after finding that the hot air balloon bombing effect was very good.

At half past one o'clock in the afternoon, the sound of artillery rang out again, and after another half an hour of shelling, the building cart and the shield cart went forward, this time there was no ladder, which was a strange phenomenon. When Hauge heard the news, he immediately went to the city to observe, and when he found that the shield wagons were operating under the city, he was terrified. There is no doubt that this is bullying people, and it is going to be blasted again.

This shield cart of the Dengzhou battalion is very annoying, it is covered with a layer of iron sheet, the bow and arrow have no effect, and the ten thousand enemies are still somewhat useful. However, soldiers who lose 10,000 enemies are often the key targets. There aren't many soldiers now, and they're willing to lose 10,000 enemies.

"Lose 10,000 enemies, you must blow up those shield cars." Hauge went crazy, raised his knife and cut down a retreating soldier, and personally led his own soldiers to carry 10,000 enemies. As soon as they were raised, a grenade fell from the side, and there were more hot air balloons in the sky, raining down on the city's top of the city.

The pro-soldiers were knocked down by Hauge in time, and with a bang, they blew up the three pro-soldiers. When Hauge was about to carry 10,000 enemies again, the Dengzhou camp under the city suddenly ran backwards like a tide. Haug was horrified and shouted, "Get down the city." ”

The soldiers went down to the city and hid in the trench dug between them, which was the best place to hide from the artillery fire, and it was much more reliable than the hiding hole under the city.

Covering his ears with his hands, Hauge didn't wait too long, the earth shook suddenly, countless fragments flew up in the sky, in the past two months, he had endured countless shells, strengthened the city wall countless times, and in this multi-point explosion, he finally couldn't bear it, and collapsed in more than a dozen places.

didn't have time to think about anything else, Haoge immediately ran to Tan Tai, and at this time, Tan Tai was already on his horse. Near the city wall, the cleared open space of about 200 meters is the battlefield that Tan Tai prepared for himself, and it may also be a cemetery.

"Dengzhou battalion, forward!" Outside the city, the screams of landslides and cracks sounded again, and the screams that made people tremble all over. In less than a day, the city walls were lost, and this result was really difficult for Hauge to accept. Without hesitation, he snatched a batch of war horses, but was dragged down by Tan Tai and said: "Da Beile, you are the commander, what you should do is to command the people below, and when I repel the Dengzhou battalion, hurry up and repair the city wall." ”

Hauge sneered: "Fix it, this city wall has no chance to be repaired at all." Tan Tai silently glanced at Hauge's personal soldiers, and the two soldiers immediately kept Hauge and didn't let him move.

Tan Tai sorted out his armor and looked at the soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion who poured past the collapsed city wall, countless bayonets flashing blue in the sun. Countless Eight Banner soldiers, still making dying resistance, retreated without support for too long in the face of the dense platoon of guns.

In the sky, the airship spotted that the cavalry of the Qing army was preparing to launch a counterattack from all directions, constantly waving flags.

Tan Tai rushed out with five hundred cavalry, Hauge looked at him silently, and rushed towards the soldiers of the Dengzhou battalion who had finished the lineup.

At the last moment, Hauge didn't forget to play a little clever, Tan Tai knew it very well, but he was in no mood to care. (To be continued......)
